Since 1955, the fine folks at NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) have been tracking Santa Claus as he traverses the globe delivering presents on Christmas Eve.
To find out Santa's current location, feel free to take a gander at the handy live tracker above, kindly provided by NORAD.
NORAD deploys all its resources – radar, satellites, and jet fighters – in order to pinpoint the location of the big guy's sleigh at any given time. To find out exactly how it's done, visit the NORAD HQ website.
The very informative website also includes some frequently asked questions, including: Why does NORAD track Santa?
Answer: Twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year, NORAD tracks airplanes, missiles, space launches and anything else that flies in or around the North American continent, while also completing some other very important missions. While the tradition of tracking Santa began purely by accident, NORAD continues to track Santa. We're the only organization that has the technology, the qualifications, and the people to do it. And, we love it! NORAD is honoured to be Santa's official tracker!
